Female FRIENDSHIP ONLY?

I'm a 38 year old, happily married (most of the time) mother of 2 beautiful girls, hoping to meet other women with or without children for friendship only, I'm in the Gold Coast region of Australia & really have no other idea of how to meet other women for friendship, due to illness I find it difficult to be out and about meeting new and interesting people, more than once I've tried other sites that once you enter them seem geared towards relationships etc, I'd just like to meet other women to get to know, to share life's laughs & trials & to enjoy each others company, I'd love to hear from other women in my area, but also from around the world, to broaden each others horizons, I look forward to hearing from interested new friends to be as soon as possible, no offence, BUT, women only please, I have plenty of male based conversations with my hubby, I look forward to hearing from as many of you wonderful & intelligent women as soon as possible, take care of yourselves, Yvette
